(the “Company”) presented herein, have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q10-Q and do not include all the information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016, 2021, included in the Company's 20162021 Annual Report on Form 10-K,10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The condensed consolidated balance sheetsheets as of September 30, 2017, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-three and nine-month periodsnine months ended September 30, 2017 2022 and 2016,2021, the con‐densed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periodsnine months ended September 30, 2017 2022 and 20162021 are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of results for these interim periods. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 2021 has been derived from the Company’s annual financial statements that were audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete annual financial statements.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

New Accounting Policy

The Company translates all assets and liabilities of its foreign subsidiaries, where the U.S. dollar is not the functional currency, at the period-end exchange rate and translates income and expenses at the average exchange rates in effect during the period. The net effect of this translation is recorded in the consolidated financial statements as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI). Translation adjustments are not adjusted for income taxes as they relate to permanent investments in the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014,There are no newly issued accounting pronouncements that the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, RevenueCompany expects to have a material effect on the financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of a promised good or service. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the transfer of promised goods or servicesservices. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the core principles of ASC 606 which include (1) identifying the contract with a customer, (2) identifying separate performance obligations within the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to customers. This standard will replace most existingthe performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue. The Company recognizes all but an immaterial portion of its product sales upon shipment. The Company recognizes revenue recognition guidance when it becomes effective. The standard permitsfrom the sale of tooling and machinery primarily upon customer acceptance, with the exception of certain tooling where control does not transfer to the customer, resulting in revenue being recognized over the estimated time for which parts are produced with the use of either the full retrospective or modified retrospective transition methods.each respective tool. The Company expects to adoptrecognizes revenue from engineering services, which are primarily product development services, as the standard inservices are performed or as otherwise determined based on the first quartersubstance of 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method.agreement. The Company has identified its primaryrecognizes revenue streams, completed a preliminary reviewfrom bill and hold transactions at the time the specified goods are complete and available to the customer. In the ordinary course of a representative sample of contracts with its customers and is in the process of evaluating the impact of this ASU on its revenue streams and accounting policies. Based on the procedures completed to date,business, the Company expects thataccepts sales returns from customers for a significant portiondefective goods, such amounts being immaterial. Although only applicable to an insignificant number of its business, the recognition of revenue under the updated standard will occur at a point in time, which is consistent with current practice. The Company has identified certain revenue streams for which the recognition of revenue may occur over time, which is a change from current practice. These revenue streams include certain customer stocking commitments. Additionally,transactions, the Company has identified certain revenue streams for whichelected to exclude sales taxes from the recognition of revenue may be deferred, which is also a change from current practice. These revenue streams include certain tooling sales.transaction price. The Company does not expect that the impact of these changes in the timing of revenue recognition for these items to be significant to the financial statements. The Company is also in the process of updating its internal controls and drafting the expanded disclosures as required by this ASU. The Company does not expect significant changes to its systems or internal controls. As the Company continues through the adoption process, it is possible that these preliminary conclusions may change.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The guidance in this ASU supersedes the leasing guidance in Topic 840, Leases. Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases previously classified as operating leases. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-02 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share Based Payment Accounting. This ASU simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards, forfeitures and classification on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2017. As the Company has not had a significant amount of forfeitures historically, under the provisions of this ASU the Company has elected to account for forfeituresshipping and handling activities for which the Company is responsible under the terms and conditions of the sale not as they occur,performance obligations but rather than estimate expected forfeitures. as fulfillment costs. These activities are required to fulfill the Company’s promise to transfer the good and are expensed when revenue is recognized.

Disaggregated Revenue

Subsequent to adoption, the Company notes the potential for volatility in its effective tax rate as any windfall or shortfall tax benefits related to its share-based compensation plans will be recorded directly to income tax expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.customers (in thousands):

The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through sales of products and services. The Company’s expected loss allowance methodology for accounts receivable is developed using historical collection experience, current and future economic and market conditions, and a review of the current status of customers' trade accounts receivables. Due to the short-term nature of such receivables, the estimate of the amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected is based on aging of the accounts receivable balances and the financial condition of customers. Additionally, specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default. The Company’s monitoring activities include timely account reconciliation, dispute resolution, payment confirmation, consideration of customers' financial condition and macroeconomic conditions. Balances are written off when determined to be uncollectible. Estimates based on an assessment of anticipated payment and all other historical, current, and future information that is reasonably available are used to determine the allowance.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Financial instruments recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets, or disclosed at fair value in the footnotes, are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels defined by ASC 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, and directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities, are as follows:

Level 1

Valued based on unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. An active market for the asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2

Valued based on either directly or indirectly observable prices for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.

Level 3

Valued based on management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.

The following table presents the fair value and hierarchy levels, for financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

In connection with the acquisitions discussed in Note 2, “Acquisitions,” the Company is required to make contingent payments, subject to the entities achieving certain financial performance thresholds. The contingent consideration payments for both the DAS Medical and Contech Medical acquisitions combined are up to $25 million. The fair value of the liabilities for the contingent consideration payments recognized upon the acquisition as part of the purchase accounting opening balance sheets totaled approximately $9.7 million and was estimated by discounting to present value the probability-weighted contingent payments expected to be made. Assumptions used in this calculation were managements financial forecasts, discount rate and various volatility factors. The ultimate settlement of contingent consideration could deviate from current estimates based on the actual results of these financial measures. This liability is considered to be a Level 3 financial liability that is re-measured each reporting period. The fair value of the liabilities for the contingent consideration payments recognized at September 30, 2022 for both the DAS Medical and Contech Medical acquisitions combined totaled approximately $19.1 million. Subsequent to the September 30, 2022 quarter-end, the Contech Medical contingent consideration balance of $5,000,000 was paid in full. The change in fair value of contingent consideration for the DAS Medical and Contech Medical acquisitions for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022, resulted in an expense of approximately $3.3 million and $9.3 million, respectively, and was included in change in fair value of contingent consideration in the consolidated statements of income.

In connection with the DAS Medical acquisition, the Company has entered into Non-Competition Agreements with the beneficiaries and the Company has agreed to pay additional consideration to the parties to the Non-Competition Agreements, including an aggregate of $10.0 million in payments over the ten years following the closing of the DAS Medical acquisition for the 10-year noncompetition covenants of certain key owners. In connection with the Advant Medical acquisition, the Company has entered into Non-Competition Agreements with the beneficiaries and the Company has agreed to pay additional consideration to the parties to the Non-Competition Agreements, including an aggregate of €375 thousand in payments over the final three years of the five years following the closing of the Advant Medical acquisition for the 5-year noncompetition covenants of certain key owners.

The Company has financial instruments, such as accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, whichthat are stated at carrying amounts that approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s long-term debt approximates fair value as the interest rate on the debt approximates the estimated borrowing rate currently available to the Company.

Leases

 

On March 18, 2009,The Company has operating and finance leases for offices, manufacturing plants, vehicles and certain office and manufacturing equipment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company accounts for each separate lease component of a contract and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component, thus causing all fixed payments to be capitalized. Variable lease payment amounts that cannot be determined at the commencement of the lease such as increases in lease payments based on changes in index rates or usage, are not included in the right of use (“ROU”) assets or lease liabilities. These are expensed as incurred and recorded as variable lease expense. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at the inception of a contract. Operating and finance lease ROU assets and operating and finance lease liabilities are stated separately in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. 

ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments pursuant to the lease.  ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the net present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term.  The Company's assumed lease term includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise that option.  ROU assets are also adjusted for any deferred or accrued rent. As the Company's leases do not typically provide an implicit rate, the Company declared a dividenduses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of one preferred share purchase right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, to the stockholders of record on March 20, 2009. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Share”) of the Company, at a price of $25 per one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share subject to adjustment and the terms of the Rights Agreement. The Rights expire on March 19, 2019.

The notional amount was approximately $6.4 million at September 30, 2022. The fair value of the swap as of September 30,2022 was approximately $26 thousand and is included in other assets. The fair value of the swap as of December 31, 2021 was approximately $(176) thousand and is included in other liabilities. Changes in the fair value and net cash settlement amounts related to the swap are recorded in other income/expense and resulted in income of approximately $20 thousand and $202 thousand, respectively, during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022. Changes in the fair value of the swap resulted in income of $2 thousand and expense of $4 thousand, respectively during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021.

As the Company recordedhas paid the following restructuring costsremaining balance of the term loan that was associated with the Massachusetts consolidationsswap in its entirety, there is no longer underlying debt to hedge against the swap.

The Company notes the potential for volatility in its effective tax rate, as any windfall or shortfall tax benefits related to its share-based compensation plans will be recorded directly into income tax expense. The Company has deferred tax assets on its books associated with net operating losses generated in previous years. The Company has considered both positive and negative available evidence in its determination that the deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized, and has not recorded a tax valuation allowance at September 30, 2017. The Company will continue to assess whether the deferred tax assets will be realizable and, when appropriate, will record a valuation allowance against these assets. The amount of the net deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry-forward period are reduced.

The Company maintains an unsecuredSecond Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amends and restates the Company’s prior credit agreement, originally dated as of February 1, 2018.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company used interest-rate-related derivative instruments to manage its exposure related to changes in interest rates on certain of its variable-rate debt instruments. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for any purpose other than cash flow hedging. Derivative financial instruments expose the Company financedto credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the purchasefailure of two molded fiber machines through five-year term loansthe counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes the Company, creating credit risk for the Company. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, the Company owes the counterparty and, therefore, in these circumstances the Company is not exposed to the counterparty’s credit risk. The Company minimizes counterparty credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with carefully selected major financial institutions based upon their credit profile. Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a derivative instrument that matureresults from a change in October 2017. interest rates.

The annualCompany assesses interest rate isrisk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities. The Company’s debt obligations exposed the Company to variability in interest payments due to changes in interest rates. The Company believed that it was prudent to limit the variability of a portion of its interest payments. To meet this objective, in connection with the First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company entered into a $20 million, 5-year interest rate swap agreement under which the Company receives three-month LIBOR plus the applicable margin and pays a 2.7% fixed rate plus the applicable margin. The swap modified the Company’s interest rate exposure by converting the previous term loan from a variable rate to a fixed rate in order to hedge against the possibility of rising interest rates during the term of the loan.

The notional amount was approximately $6.4 million at 1.83% andSeptember 30, 2022. The fair value of the loans are secured by the related molded fiber machines. Asswap as of September 30, 2017,2022 was approximately $26 thousand and is included in other assets. The fair value of the outstandingswap as of December 31, 2021 was approximately $(176) thousand and is included in other liabilities. Changes in the fair value and net cash settlement amounts related to the swap are recorded in other income/expense and resulted in income of approximately $20 thousand and $202 thousand, respectively, during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022. Changes in the fair value of the swap resulted in income of $2 thousand and expense of $4 thousand, respectively during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021.

As the Company has paid the remaining balance of the term loan facilitythat was approximately $84,000.associated with the swap in its entirety, there is no longer underlying debt to hedge against the swap. The changes in the fair value of the swap will continue to be accounted for as a financial instrument until the sooner of the time that the Company elects to cancel it or until its maturity, which will occur on February 1, 2023.

Future Liquidity

The Company requires cash to pay its operating expenses, purchase capital equipment, and to service its contractual obligations. The Company’s principal sources of funds are its operations and its revolvingamended and restated credit facility.  The Company generatedused cash of approximately $13.0 million from$144 thousand for operations during the nine-month periodnine months ended September 30, 2017; however,2022; and, the Company cannot guarantee that its operations will generate cash in future periods.  The Company’s longer-term liquidity is contingent upon future operating performance.performance and draws on the revolving credit facility are possible. 

 

Throughout fiscal 2017,2022, the Company plans to continue to add capacity to enhance operating efficiencies in its manufacturing plants. The Company is in the process of further expanding its Newburyport, Massachusetts, manufacturing plant. The Company may consider additional acquisitions of companies, technologies, or products that are complementary to its business. The Company believes that its existing resources, including its revolving credit facility, together with cash expected to be generated from operations, and funds expected to be available to it through any necessary equipment financings and additional bank borrowings, will be sufficient to fund its cash flow requirements, including capital asset acquisitions, through the next twelve months.

 

The Company may also require additional capital in the future to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions, or other investments. These capital requirements could be substantial. The Company anticipates that any future expansion of its business will be financed through existing resources, cash flow from operations, the Company's revolving credit facility, or other new financing. The Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to meet existing financial covenants or obtain other new financing on favorable terms, if at all. The Company's liquidity will be impacted to the extent additional stock repurchases are made under the Company's stock repurchase program.

Stock Repurchase Program

 

The Company accounts for treasury stock under the cost method, using the first-in, first-out flow assumption, and includes treasury stock as a component of stockholders’ equity. On June 16, 2015, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $10.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Under the program, the Company is authorized to repurchase shares through Rule 10b5-1 plans, open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block purchases or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The stock repurchase program will end upon the earlier of the date on which the plan is terminated by the Board or when all authorized repurchases are completed. The timing and amount of stock repurchases, if any, will be determined based upon our evaluation of market conditions and other factors. The stock repurchase program may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time, and the Company has no obligation to repurchase any amount of its common stock under the program.

The Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock under this program in the first nine months of 2017. Through September 30, 2017, the Company had repurchased a total of 29,559 shares of its common stock under this program at a cost of approximately $587,000.2022. At September 30, 2017,2022 approximately $9.4 million was available for future repurchases of the Company’s common stock under this authorization.

There

The Company closed the acquisitions of Contech, DAS Medical, and Advant Medical on October 12, 2021, December 22, 2021, and March 17, 2022, respectively. The new acquisitions’ total assets and revenues constituted approximately 45.1% and 35.4%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated total assets and revenues as shown on our consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended September 30, 2022. As the acquisitions occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 and the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company excluded all of the acquired businesses internal control over financial reporting from the scope of the assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. This exclusion is in accordance with the general guidance issued by the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission that an assessment of a recently acquired business may be omitted from the scope within the first year of acquisition if specified conditions are satisfied.

An evaluation was also performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of any change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has been nomaterially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Except as described above, that evaluation did not identify any change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recentour latest fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

From time to time, the risk factors previously disclosedCompany may be a party to various suits, claims and complaints arising in Part 1 - Item 1Athe ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management of the Company, these suits, claims and complaints should not result in final judgments or settlements that, in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 1A: RISK FACTORS

The Company faces a number of uncertainties and risks that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of the Company's control. For a detailed discussion of the risks that affect our business, please refer to Part I, Item IA, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.2021 and Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.  There have been no material changes from the risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and our subsequent Quarterly Reports, with the exception of the additional Risk Factors noted below.

 

Restrictions in our credit facilities may limit our business and financial activities, including our ability to obtain additional capital in the future.

In December 2021, we entered into a secured $130 million Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., which provided for a $90 million revolving credit facility and a $40 million term loan facility. This Credit Agreement contains covenants imposing various restrictions on our business and financial activities. These restrictions may affect our ability to operate our business and undertake certain financial activities and may limit our ability to take advantage of potential business or financial opportunities as they arise. The restrictions these covenants place on us include limitations on our ability to incur liens, incur indebtedness, make investments, dissolve or merge or consolidate with or into another entity, dispose of certain property, and make restricted payments. The Credit Agreement also requires us to meet certain financial ratios, including a minimum fixed-charge coverage ratio and a maximum total funded debt to EBITDA ratio. The breach of any of these covenants or restrictions could result in a default under the Credit Agreement, which could have a material adverse impact to our business, financial condition and results of operation.

We are also exposed to the risk of increasing interest rates as our revolving credit and term loan facilities are both at a variable interest rate. Material changes in interest rates could result in higher interest expense and related payments for us. For example, at December 31, 2021, the applicable interest rate under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was approximately 1.58% and at September 30, 2022, the interest rate thereunder was approximately 4.6%.

Adverse economic or market conditions may harm our business.

Worsening economic conditions, including inflation, increasing interest rates, decreasing economic activity, volatility in equity and credit markets or other changes in the economic environment, may adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations. For example, we depend on suppliers for the raw materials used in our products, and the suppliers of these raw materials may seek to raise prices in the current inflationary economic environment. If our costs increase and we are unable to successfully pass along those increased costs to our customers, our revenue and/or operating profitability may be adversely affected. To the extent we are able to pass along such increased costs to our customers, such pass-through costs could negatively impair our relationships with our customers.
